Hi guys

CedricVH

I noticed your little addition for the updated karmic, so I added it before runnng the script.

I am working on a Swedish version of Ubuntu. I ran the script and the funny thing is it worked itself through the list and then closed the terminal .....taking only five minutes tops?

Have I done something wrong? Is it compiling even if the terminal is closed? Not seeing much activity from the processor?

Sorry for so many questions...got my customer waiting for his computer...and he has just worked out that I am bookie56...LOL

Can someone give me some clarity on this....Please!

Hi all - and bookie56.
I'm sure CedricVH and wyldckat gave you a deadly virusscript - effectively eating all your customers computers up by now .

So what happened after that bookie? Could you restart with better results?

Hi Bookie,
It's very strange because the installation on my notebook with intel T9300 takes almost 1hour and half and at the end the console doesn't close , Have you check the log file? Have you ceck the installation?

[Wolle]

Hi,

try to run every step with

$ processname 2>&1 | tee processnamelogfile

That way you can observe all the messages (stdout and errout) while running and write them in a logfile at the same time. This might give further information, even after the strange closing of the terminal.

Cheers
Wolle

Hi guys

Thanks for your great response! I am at a loss to be able to say what I did wrong...

I have just run ./foamInstallationTest and that came up with

FATAL ERROR: OpenFOAM environment not configured

Please refer to installation section of the readme file....bla bla bla

OK! before running the script ...I made the change that I have already mentioned.

But before that I had changed a couple of settings according to other info I had seen....might be that that is affecting the output now...?

At the moment ...I feel like just reinstalling Ubuntu Karmic 64bit and follow this thread so that we have more chance of finding the problem...

Wolle

OK! I am no idiot but...can you show me how to devide up the script in smaller individual commands so that I see where to start.


83_Ale_83

Where do I find the log...so that we can look at that..


Calobra

I will admit that the script went its cycle in about 5 minutes tops and then went back to user mode...waiting for next job...LOL

I ran the script again and then it just went through it quickly and then shut the terminal...

Could do with some input so that my customer don't send out a search party after his computer...LOL

If you use MadsR script is autogenerate inside the folder OpenFoam/OpenFoam-1.6.x ---> "make.log"

Hi 83_Ale_83

Thanks for the info...going to have a looksee.

Hi guys

Still no joy?!! I reinstalled Ubuntu but as I said before ...Swedish version. I did the standard update after install and then ran the script from a terminal by writing sudo and then pasting in the script. It ran for maximum 3 minutes and then went back to user again.

The following is the last piece of the run...which is actually in English:

ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
ruben@ruben-desktop:~$

The script was only changed wher the library was 10 and now 13:

Hi guys

One more thing...there is no log either?

[Calobra]

-> bookie65
English version is totally ok for me. Just keep things as simple as possible.
Workthings - Normally I do it all in English

[83_Ale_83]

Hi,
No it doesn't depend on the language, I use linux Mint in italian and I haven't got problems...
Maybe you can copy-paste "line by line" the script in the terminal and see where the script crush.

[bookie56]

Hi guys

OK! I can say that the script is getting stuck for some reason? Let me try to give a proper account....

I reinstalled Ubuntu Karmic in English and didn't update Ubuntu...I just copied the first part of the script into a terminal and ran it...

sudo apt-get install binutils-dev flex git git-core build-essential python-dev libqt4-dev libreadline5-dev wget zlib1g-dev cmake

When this was done it was the same as I posted before:

Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
ruben@ruben-desktop:~$

So basically the script doesn't go further than the first section of the install?

I then ran individual bits and much more happened until it started compiling....well no evidence of that in the terminal but I can see the hard drive indicator blinking like a crazy women....LOL sorry, bad example...LOL.

I am now going back to my Swedish install and see what gives.

OK! Things are looking good... Is there anyone looking in that can give me a test scenario to put OpenFOAM to work?

I have never used such a program and my customer isn't that familiar with Linux yet.

I can start a new thread for that if you want...

@bookie56: It would be nice to know what really happend between installing Ubuntu and...installing it again...wierd. But, good thing it worked out. New thread would be a good idea :-) and don't forget the search button ;-)

/Mads

[bookie56]

Hi MadsR

Yes, I agree about wanting to know what happened. The strange thing is when I tried, as suggested, to run the script in individual sections after running the whole script....couldn't get anything to happen?

I am as confused as you by this.....but the script actually supplies the nescessary info to get the job done and that I thank you for.

Of course, I will do some searching before posting a new thread.

Thanks again for all the help!

Hi Mads

I am curious why you write OpenFOAM-dev 1.6 ? for your Installation Script

is there any new release for OF-dev ? as far as i know it is still 1.5-dev

OpenFOAM-1.5-dev.General_2009-12-11.tgz

see this : http://powerlab.fsb.hr/ped/kturbo/OpenFOAM/release/

Hi! Mads,

Thank you for your OF install script. I have followed what you wrote in the script for Ubuntu 9. 10 for 32 bit and I got the problem after foamInstallationTest:

The foam installation contains 2 critical error(s).

Review the output for warning messages and consult

done.

I read what you advised Aurel on page 3 and tried to solve it the same way, but it's frustrating only to see the same errors popping-out all the times. Could you tell me, who is totally newbie in the Linux world , how to solve this 2 critical errors. By the way I've installed the Linux 32 bit on Windows XP via Wubi. But in the warnings above of OpenFOAM settings it seems to be about Linux64. Can that be the reason (hopefully not )?

Many thanks for your reply.

regards,

Mike

Hi Mike.

Are you installing the 64 bit version of OF on a 32 bit Ubuntu? That won't work for sure. Are you sure you are using the right version of the script?

Hi! Mads,

a wrong version may be most suspicious. I've checked it many times. It was the 32bit Version I was using.

The only point I found is that the first link given at the command "wget" for the installation files is seemingly pretty the same for both the 32bit and 64bit versions, which confused me, if they are not meant to be the same file. They correspond the links officially given at the new OF website.

64bit:

...
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Downloading ThirdParty stuff"
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foa...se_mirror=mesh
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-1.6.linux64Gcc.gtgz?use_mirror=mesh
....

32bit

...
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Downloading ThirdParty stuff"
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foa...se_mirror=mesh
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/foam/ThirdParty-1.6.linuxGcc.gtgz?use_mirror=mesh ...

Anyway I'll try to install it at another PC. Hopefully it'll work. Anyway without your script I would be further away from the successful installation. Thanks for the reply!


Regards,

Mike
